Telly’s Take
This show premiered with much lower numbers than last year and the ratings then dropped even lower. The numbers are terrible, even for a Friday show. I think that it will be cancelled but then, the ratings were awful last year too. Going just by the numbers, the second season is a Nielsen miracle. I’m no longer letting this series whet my highly excitable appetite. Instead, I’ll keep a hungry (but jaded) eye on the ratings and update this page with breaking developments.
